Do you still follow the traditional method of goal setting? It doesn't work. You can may be achievable but the way you set the goal is the reason for not achieving the goal.

We might have set a number of goals in the last year and very few has been achieved ( I think so ).

Why were we unable to achieve our goal ? There are various reason for not achieving it, let me start with one of the pitfalls of Goal setting and how we can avoid it.

Lack of Precision and Vague

idea posted by Sudeep Tarafdar Senior Consultant, IBM
I think lack of Precision  is one of the reason for not achieving the goal.

Anything which is not express clearly can be deadly, Vague goals can be deadly to business and create vague. When writing goals, express it clearly, write it down in precise language.

Your goal might be "earning lot of money". But how much ?? Is it measurable?

Goal should be specific, measurable. When goals are precise you can focus all your attention towards it until you achieve what you want.

Deadline

Hmmm... Goal without a deadline is it achievable. YES

But how long will it take ?? No idea..may be few months or 1 year or 20 year or 50 year...

Do you want your goals to be achieved in such a long period ??

NO...So take necessary steps...one of them is by having a deadline for every goal...

A goal with the deadline will alert you to take necessary actions when required...

Believers believe and non-believers don't . No one can tell what will happen tomorrow but we want to get assurity which makes us feel more secure and so we want to believe in it. All the astrologers are taking advantage of this mentality.
